Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 13, 1906.

Application filed August 7,1906. Serial No. 329,557.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JACOB B. MILLARD and HARRY E. MILLARD, citizens ofthe United States, residing at Lebanon, in the county of Lebanon andState of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Cars for Hoisting Apparatus; and we do hereby declare the followingto be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such aswill enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make anduse the same. Our invention relates, primarily, to hoistmg apparatus forloading cars or other receptacles, has especial reference to cars usedfor conveying material to be hoisted, and has for its object economy inconstruction and durability; and the invention consists in certainimprovements in construction which will be fully disclosed in thefollowing specification and claim.

In the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification,Figure 1 represents a bottom plan View of a car embodying our invention;Fig. 2, a side elevation of the same and Fig. 3, a rear end elevation,partly in section.

Reference being had to the drawings and the designating charactersthereon, the numeral 1 indicates the body of the car, which may be madeof a continuous piece of sheet metal, open at its front end and providedwith a closed rear end 2, which is secured to the body 1 by angle-irons3 3 on the sides and 4 on the bottom. The car-body has a flat bottom 5,is bent concavo-convex at 6 between the flat bottom and the verticalportion 7 of the sides, and from the upper end of the vertical portion 7the sides are flared or bent outward at 8 to increase the capacity ofthe car.

The body of the car is stiffened and strengthened by longitudinalconcavo-convex reinforces 9, which cover the concavoconvex portions 6and extend from a point in the rear of the hind wheels of the car to thefront end thereof and are secured to the body by rivets 10, as shown inFigs. 1 and 2.

11 indicates the axles of the car, which are secured thereto bycast-iron axle-supports 12 12, having lugs 13, by which they areattached to the body, the axle resting between the vertical members ofthe support the axle, and with laterally-extending lugs 18 by which thecastings are secured to the body by rivets 19. The space between theinner edges of the reinforces 9 over the axles is filled by a strip orfilling-piece 20 and is secured to the axle by pins or studs 21.

22 indicates the draft-link. secured to the bottom of the car-body by aT-shaped bar 23, and on the end 2 of the car is a ring 24, by which thecar is drawn by hand.

25 indicates the car-wheels, which may be of any approved form ofconstruction.

The car thus constructed is durable, simple, and easily repaired, thelongitudinal reinforces serving to stiffen the body and preventspreading of the sides.

Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim is A car forhoisting apparatus having a sheet-metal body open at one end and closedat the opposite end, and provided with concavo-convex portions on eachside of the transverse center of the car, longitudinal concavo-convexreinforces secured to the body, axles secured to'the bottom of the car,

and body-supports secured to the body over I the concavo-convex portionand resting on the axles.

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures in presence of twowitnesses.
